The problem is 'Valid_Name' is called before you have a character. Note the
'0x0'. I see you have the ANSI color snippet installed. Check your
nanny.c and make sure 'Valid_Name' is called *only* at the GET_NAME step.
The patch may not have applied entirely correctly either, did you see 'fuzz
factor'? That almost always means something went wrong. :)
Anyone without that color snippet seeing the problem?
(perhaps I should add a dt->character check...but at that point, you
*should* have one.)
